"Williamson County continues to perform stronger than much of the Country, but that has not isolated the real estate market from apprehension among consumers to spend money – even for essentials such as housing. Until people start to feel more comfortable with the news from Wall Street and the Federal Government, we can expect to see less closings and falling prices. Buyers are contending with the credit crisis with more strict lending guidelines and less money available for loans,” said Kathie Moore, 2008 President of the Williamson County Association of REALTORS®.
The Williamson County Association of REALTORS® is the professional trade organization servicing the real estate industry in Williamson County. Established in 1962, the association provides professional development and support services for real estate professionals. The association has over 1,650 members and is headquartered in Franklin, Tn.
